Jon Baiocchi / Baiocchi’s Troutfitters Reports on 9.8.2016

The North Fork Yuba River continues to fish well from the top of the watershed, down to the lower reaches below Downieville. Water temps have dropped a few degrees with the colder overnight low air temperatures. Fishing pressure is extremely light, and you’ll be able to find complete solitude now, especially mid-week. Water levels are at...

Summer is a done deal, kids are back in school, the river is pretty much empty, the burners are gone, and it’s time to decompress.

Fishing on the Truckee River is very good with the fall like weather over the weekend. Lows are in the 20’s, and highs ain’t bad. A man could fish all day now and be comfortable.

Flows are still up as I write this, but for how long, I’m not...

Well, Summer is starting to wind down meaning the flows on Putah Creek will start to drop in our favor. No more agriculture and less ac units running means less water out of Monticello.

This summer was very typical out there with lots of small fish in the very few spots to fish the creek at the high flows. The Creek just started to drop this week and will co to use...

Jordan Romney Reports on 9.8.2016

Errr… So mid August the Yuba was firing for me. I was excited about the number of fish we found and size. It was a relief to find the fish fat and healthy again. But then something changed out there and the fishing got tough. Not sure what happened or what changed but they got moody.

We missed what looks like an epic stonefly hatch out there this year. The banks are...

I just had  Oct 3,4,5 open up! Prime dates!

Fall fishing season is just around the corner. The days are noticeably shorter now and the nights are getting cooler. In the early morning hours around daybreak there’s been a “changing of the seasons” feel in the air this week. Some of the best fishing in Nor-Cal happens during the fall season… get ready to get after it! 

Many...

Rick Mazaira at Yosemite Outfitters Reports on 9/8/2016

The nights are cooling and stabilizing the water temps but please be careful to not stress the fishing by fishing when the water temps are over 70 degrees.

Mokelumne River

• The Moke is back down to minimum flows, best to wait for the Salmon pules in October.
  
• Upper Moke- It’s all fishing well, dries & dry droppers. Stimulators & Caddis are best....

Hogan Brown Report on 9/8/2016

Report: Striper fishing on the Lower Sac has been good. There are good numbers of 18-25" fish that clients are hooking into and plenty of shakers. The bigger fish have been hard to come by as there are still not many salmon in the river to push the bigger fish to the shallows in any numbers. That said there is more and more salmon showing up every day. Striper fishing...

Brain Theriot reports on 9/8/2016

Fishing continues to be great on the Lower Sac and should still be a top pick for Nor Cal, but don’t forget about the Upper Sac because it is also kicking out some great fishing! Labor Day weekend, on the Lower Sac, greeted us with some pleasant weather & big Rainbows, but we also had to deal with lots of jet skiers. The temps soared back up to the high 90s today...

Steve Santucci reports on 9/8/2016

Fished the West Delta this week and caught numbers of small fish under 18 inches.  Hopefully we will get some new incoming fish with the larger tides in the coming week.  Looking forward catching and releasing some larger Stripers.  In the meantime,  I will be fishing closer to SF Bay.

Report: This is where I have spent a few trips on as of recent. Prior to me leaving for Alaska, the Yuba was on fire, and its still fishing pretty good. While the dry fly fishing has become a bit more inconstant, it will still produce a few fish a day, the nymphing game has been...
